2) Photoshop your images (cut, lasso, rotate, clone stamp ... use what you know!)
3) Put them all together in ONE LINE- using increase CANVAS SIZE

4) SAVE your final product, post it, along with the originals you used to compose it, in your TEXT WEEK FOLDER and digitally put that in your TURN IN folder.

PROJECT SPECIFIC QUESTIONS:
Which ONE of the text week projects was the most fun? And which one was the most DIFFICULT?

EXTRA CREDIT CONTEST

Check it out!

The link is HERE.

The only difference in MY CLASS is that we have a PURPLE SHEET, not a PINK SHEET:)

TEXT WEEK #4- School Memes

Today's TEXT assignment is to create 2 MEMEs.

ONE that is made with a photo YOU'VE taken.
and
ONE with an INTERNET image.

BOTH MEMEs have to deal with SCHOOL LIFE.

What it's like being a student-
tests, classes, rules, certain teachers, work load,
fees, sports, clubs, books, stress, dating, policies, lunch, etc...

KEEP IT SCHOOL APPROPRIATE
AND NOT MEAN SPIRITED, PLEASE!

Your MEMEs MUST have outlined TEXT (see below)
10 points

REMEMBER- all of this weeks assignments (along with the ORIGINAL IMAGES) go into a folder called TEXT WEEK, and you only need to do ONE purple sheet for the week,
THE PROJECT SPECIFIC QUESTION WILL BE ON TOMORROWS FINAL TEXT WEEK ASSIGNMENT!!!

TEXT WEEK #3- motivational poster

Go to the following link and check out a few of the
MOTIVATIONAL POSTERS that link an image with
a quote....

HERE

What do you think of these? Does any one catch your attention?
Was it the QUOTE or the IMAGE that you liked???

Then go to:

http://www.despair.com/viewall.html


And check out these posters that satirize this genre.
Do these fit more with your personality?
Or do you think they are pretty stupid?


YOU WILL BE DOING one of these this week WITH A PICTURE that YOU take!!! (or have taken) Think about what text/message/image you want on yours- It is OK to use text from one that already exists, but the PICTURE will have to be one that YOU TAKE!!!

This assignment is about INCREASING the canvas size- your image MUST have an extended border that your text is written on- DO NOT write ON the IMAGE!!! You need a LARGE single word and a phrase underneath it- just like the examples you looked at:)

This is TEN POINTS.
It goes in your TEXT WEEK folder - with the original Image.

TEXTra credit #1

This is an optional assignment for extra credit!
Up to 10 points! Depending on how 'professional' it looks...

MAKE ONE OF YOUR PORTRAIT assignment photos into a
MAGAZINE COVER-

(you don't have to type a response to this blog)
You want to have some EXTRA ROOM/SPACE at the top of your photo, for the TITLE, if you choose to do this...

Go to BIG HUGE LABS (here) and use their MAGAZINE COVER GENERATOR.

DISCLAIMER: You may indeed wind up spending HOURS of your life at this site... BEWARE!!!

When you are done with this , just save the final image and put it into your TEXT WEEK folder at the end of the week:)

TEXT WEEK #2- word AS image

In this mini-assignment,
your task is to insert a SINGLE WORD into an image so it BECOMES A PART OF the image.
You will be doing this TWICE!!! for 10 points-
PLEASE SAVE YOUR ORIGINAL IMAGES and post them WITH your FINAL ONES!!!!!
Think about WHAT word to add to WHAT scene?
WILL you have to alter the FONT, size, or ANGLE of the word to make it work as a THING inside of the picture?

DO NOT USE MY TWO EXAMPLES done in class.

The word TEETH becomes the actual teeth in a toothless babies mouth.

TEEF.

The word NAIL is being driven in by a hammer-
AFTER clone stamping out the original nail.

TEXT WEEK #1- attributed and warped quote

THIS IS TEXT WEEK.
Four little daily assignments combining TEXT AND IMAGE.
AT the end of the week, when you've done all 4- put them in a TURN IN FOLDER
in you G.Drive and do ONE PURPLE SHEET for the whole week-
PROJECT QUESTION will be on Friday's Text Week #4 assignment.

Each one is worth 10 points, making this a 40 point assignment.
(there will also be 2-3 extra credit text week assignments posted)


ATTRIBUTED QUOTE

This week is all about combining TEXT AND IMAGES.

Find a quote you can use for today's project -
http://www.brainyquote.com/

Then GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH and find an appropriate photo to insert this quote into.

Here's the CATCH- the TEXT (either the entire quote or PART of it) SHOULD not just be plastered on the image, but WORKED INTO the photo and become part of the overall IMAGE ITSELF.

I don't like to show many photographic examples or DO a DEMO of this project BECAUSE everyone just copies my example when I do that... BE ORIGINAL-

DO NOT USE these examples- But-

Einstein said "creativity is more important than knowledge." So, you'd find a picture of him and have this quote literally exploding out of his head/brain done in crazy energetic colors and fonts.

Lincoln said " A house divided against itself - cannot stand. " So, you'd find a picture of a demolished house and -scatter- the words of the quote amongst the building's debris.

Chagall said " Great art picks up where nature ends." So, you'd find a picture of flowers, hit it with an ARTISTIC FILTER, and insert the quote into the flowers petals a color shade darker than the petals- or type it in green on the stems.

Don't forget to ATTRIBUTE your quote in the lower right hand corner of your image- That means- TYPE THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO said this quote!

AND- just like the other assignments this week- Post the ORIGINAL and the EDITED-ADDED TEXT image in your TEXT WEEK folder and only fill out ONE EVALUATION SHEET at the end of the week for all 4 assignments...

Good luck dudes!

Friday

Be nice to the sub today,please.
I'm home with my sick son.

STILL LIFE ASSIGNMENT

Commercial Photography

The expectation is for you to have all 5 of these great, edited shots, LABELED and
in a folder called STILL LIFE
(along with the 5 unedited original images)
IN YOUR TURN_IN FOLDER
with a purple sheet filled out
BY MAY 16th

This assignment is 50 points- HUGE!
10 points per photo, so make sure you take each one seriously!

1)FOOD and/or BEVERAGE SHOT

2)TECHNOLOGY SHOT

3)SCHOOL SUPPLY SHOT

4)SHOES

5)ANTIQUES & TREASURES from the past

Consider looking at the COMPOSITIONAL TECHNIQUES list to inform your choices!

All of these can be single items OR a collection of items, but be aware of over-cluttering
your image IT SHOULD NOT be confusing to look at.

These need to be professional looking and CLEAN- in focus, CONTROL everything in the background, and make good lighting and editing choices!

REMEMBER- SUPER simple backgrounds OR backgrounds that are appropriate for the ITEMS.

USE photoshop to CLEAN UP your shot (remove distractions, amplify color/light, etc...)
If you use photoshop to add text, keep it minimal- the focus should be the IMAGE not the WORDS.

AND - no people please!!!!

THE PROJECT SPECIFIC QUESTION:
Which of your 5 shots turned out the MOST professional looking?
Why do you think it was so successful?

LIFE BLOG
